Chapter 300: Farming and Infrastructure Construction in Primitive Society 15

Jiang Lan knew very well what Ah Yu did not understand.

A young child is like a blank sheet of paper.

He will not doubt anything you teach him, and you can paint any color you want on this blank sheet of paper.

For older people, their worldview has already been formed, and it is difficult for you to change their minds.

Even if he knows in his heart that you are right, his subconscious will resist.

This is why people have completely different attitudes towards the elderly and children.

When dealing with children, we can point out the problems, and they will acknowledge and correct them.

When dealing with the elderly, we point out the problems, but most of them will not change, and they will use this as an excuse to lose their temper and accuse you of being wrong for various reasons.

To put it bluntly, this group of people in primitive society have lived for so long.

They thought that they had already experienced all the ups and downs, and there was no point in learning more words.

As long as a person resists in his heart, his enthusiasm and concentration in learning a certain skill will drop rapidly, and gradually become perfunctory.

In fact, it is also easy to deal with this situation. Just take out the things that the tribesmen care about most as bargaining chips.

Jiang Lan explained the truth to Ayu, and she instantly opened up her Ren and Du meridians, and hurried back to make a new lesson plan.

This time, Ayu adjusted the direction. She paid out of her own pocket to reward the three people who made the fastest progress in learning.

Then she spared no effort to draw cakes for everyone to explain the importance of learning.

For the helpless Adou, Ayu also used PUA means. After all, if one person does not learn, the whole family will lose face.

After Ayu promoted it to the tribe, those who wanted to show off were completely scared, at least they dared not fool her anymore.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was mid-April.

At the beginning of May every year, all major tribes would bring their own specialties and gather in a fixed place to trade with other tribes.

This is considered the most grand exchange meeting in primitive society.

It is said that there are thousands of participating tribes, and the specialties of each tribe are also strange and varied.

In previous years, Hu and the chiefs had to worry about what to use to exchange for supplies this year, but this year they are calm and relaxed, and their mentality is very good.

Nowadays, the Huangyan tribe has no shortage of salt, and also has a variety of special products. They will definitely be the big winners in this trade fair.

With Ah Yu as a cheat, Jiang Lan brought all the special products of the tribe without thinking.

Of course, they must have limited supply of ironware, and other things like hemp bush are abundant in the tribe.

By the way, there are also pottery and other things. Jiang Lan doesn't think much of them, but he estimates that there will be tribes that like them, so he will bring them.

Considering that the venue of this tribal trade fair is still a certain distance away from the territory of the Huangyan tribe, Jiang Lan directly invited Ah Qing's family out.

The Huangyan tribe was directly led by Jiang Lan, Ah Yu as the deputy leader, and with 3 warriors, they set off.

Along the way, Ayu seemed very excited and kept chattering with the people around her.

Jiang Lan couldn't help but think of the things in the original owner's memory. He didn't know whether Ayu would be favored by so many tribal leaders this time.

At least now the men of the Huangyan tribe dare not have any improper thoughts about Ayu, otherwise Mo would be a lesson for them.

Mo's hair has not grown out yet. Anyway, as soon as it grows out, it will fall off inexplicably, which is really a bit miserable.

A man can have other wives without Ayu.

But if a man has no hair, then he really has no hair.

When Jiang Lan and his group arrived at the trade fair, many tribes had already arrived, and everyone had begun to set up stalls in the open air.

Although there were only five people from the Huangyan tribe, they still attracted a lot of attention when they rode on a green ox loaded with supplies. An

enthusiastic tribe greeted them: "Friends, what tribe are you from?"

"We are from the Huangyan tribe."

The Huangyan tribe is not a small tribe, but it is not a large tribe either. It can only be regarded as a relatively medium-sized tribe. It is not well-known, but many people have heard of it.

"What good things did you bring this time? Do you want to come and see us first?"

Since the other party invited them, Jiang Lan and his friends didn't hesitate and got off the ox directly.

"Hello, we are from the Changyu tribe. We have a lot of beautiful feathers in our tribe. Would you like to have some?"

When they heard about feathers, everyone's interest was not high.

Jiang Lan smiled and asked, "Do you have a lot of birds in your tribe?"

"Birds are our ancestors, so our tribe supports a lot of birds. These feathers are naturally dropped from them, and they are blessings."

Jiang Lan asked again, "How do you want to exchange?"

"A bag of feathers, we want to exchange for a bag of food."

As if realizing that his request was a bit high, the other party hurriedly explained.

"It doesn't need to be a big bag, just give it as you see fit."

Jiang Lan motioned for Ah Yu to hand him the potato sample on his waist, and then said, "Is this okay? We will use 10 kilograms of this to exchange for a bag of feathers, but the feathers must be compacted, not light and floating."

"Okay, okay, how many bags do you want to exchange."

These feathers of the Changyu tribe have been unsalable for many years, and there are a lot of stocks. It is a pleasant surprise to be able to exchange for food.

"We want all of them. We'll take as many as you can get, but I'll check the quality."

"Don't worry, these feathers are absolutely good."

Jiang Lan nodded, "That's good."

In the end, Jiang Lan exchanged 120 kilograms of potatoes for 120 bags of feathers. She felt that the deal was worth it.

If these feathers were made into down clothes, the quality of life this winter would be even better.

Although the Huangyan tribe also raised poultry, they were caught in the wild, so there were not many of them, and people didn't dare to kill them, so they raised them as breeding poultry.

It is estimated that it will take some time for them to reproduce to a certain scale.

This was originally a very fair transaction, and both parties were very satisfied with it.

As a result, in the eyes of other tribes, the Huangyan tribe was a complete loser, spending 120 kilograms of food to buy a bunch of useless junk.

This also sent a signal to other tribes, that is, the people of the Huangyan tribe were very stupid and naive, and very easy to deceive, and they wanted everything.

Although the reputation of this big loser was not very good, the advertising effect was not bad. At least many tribes were willing to take the initiative to invite them to trade.

Jiang Lan also specifically stared at the junk that others didn't want, and unexpectedly found a lot of good things, such as pearls.

Pearls are similar to marbles in modern society in the eyes of the tribesmen, which are toys used by children in the tribe.

Jiang Lan bought two large barrels at once, spending only the price of half a piece of linen, which was simply extremely cheap.

In addition to its decorative function, pearls are also a very good medicinal material.

Not only can they calm the mind and relieve symptoms such as irritability, insomnia, and restlessness, they can also extinguish wind and clear away heat, and treat diseases such as shock and epilepsy. In

addition, pearls can nourish the liver and improve eyesight, detoxify and regenerate muscles. Pearl powder can be used to treat knife wounds, abrasions, scalds, burns, eczema and other skin injuries.

This trip was really worth it, not only was it worth it, but it also made a lot of money.
